Well, we require gmake anyway for freetype since that specifically
requires gmake. gld should not be required, at least unless we call it
explicitly.
For gmake: call ${MAKE-make} instead of make when invoking a target
and as long as the makefile is being build with the right "make" it
will work. That is the fix I have for eclib in the wings.
Overall I do not care for sonames for libraries since we do not
provide a versioning interface anyway. Since Debian requires it [and
maybe other distributions] those should patch them into the makefile.
Add autohell to a whole new set of packages is not the answer since we
are turning a nuisance into a steaming pile of crap. I would much
rather use SCons or CMake.
As is no spkg will be updated without working with Sun's make [unless
gmake is required] and ld. It will take a little while to get the
existing kinks out of the system, but one of my Solaris boxen is set
up that way so I am happy to verify that personally ;)
